Episode notes
Adopt A Three Wallet System
- Use a three-wallet model and hardware wallets for safety.
- Beau suggests day-to-day, dedicated risky-op wallets, and cold vaults; Jameson recommends hardware devices once >$1k.
Only Sign Transactions When You're Sharp
- Never operate crypto when cognitively impaired and pause on urgent requests.
- Jameson: avoid signing transactions when tired or under influence; wait 24 hours on panic prompts.
Buy YubiKeys And Use A Password Manager
- Use a password manager plus hardware 2FA to defeat phishing.
- Jameson and Beau recommend YubiKeys/Passkeys; password managers prevent autofill on typo-squat domains and YubiKey stores TOTP secrets offline.
